"WHAT DID ARNOLD PROMISE?"
FEB. 25 microMEETING WITH TIM BROTZMAN

In 1975, Tim Brotzman found himself standing in awe under an old Hamamelis mollis growing at The RHS Wisley Gardens in England. The fragrant flowers like yellow stars beneath the canopy of sheltering oaks, inspired Tim to start on a quest which resulted in the largest Hamamelis collection in the US with nearly 200 unique taxa. Join Tim from Brotzman’s Nursery, Inc. as he shares his deep expertise. FREE registration.
GET TO THE ROOT OF IT ALL

Over the span of four decades, Australian botanists and researchers have developed a robust collection of root system drawings documenting more than 1,000 plants! Browse the collection.

Thanks to member Peggy Walsh-Craig for sharing this cool Washington Post article.
